WELSH triathlete Anneliese Heard's appeal to British Triathlon's selectors has been successful.

In order to have a chance of competing in Athens next August, Heard had to finish in the top three British athletes in the Madeira World Cup but did not finish the race due to a collision. Her appeal claimed she was in a strong position before the fall and was likely to have finished in the top three.
